CEDE (Community for the Eradication of Discrimination in Education and Employment) is a network of lawyers, law firms, judges, and other organisations and individuals, who are committed towards reforming the Indian legal profession.
CEDE organises internships for students from marginalised communities by crowdsourcing opportunities via the cession of social capital by the privileged in the legal profession. Our network of lawyers commits to offering at least one paid internship each year to a student selected by us from marginalized social backgrounds. We use a centralised system via which candidates apply and get shortlisted for these internship positions. The basis of selection is not only academic excellence, but various additional parameters including but not limited to caste, ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, income, residence, and parent's education, to ensure an intersectional selection.
As merely opportunity is insufficient to tackle deeps-seated discrimination, CEDE also creates and curates practical content for young lawyers and law students.
Finally, CEDE engages in research, primarily, in the fields of representation and discrimination.
